Dreaming With The Animals

You have been working on this blog for a while - many of you - and I want to encourage you to stay with it. I know we give a lot of homework here but thats because in my experience it is your own motivation to apply this homework in your life that is what truly improves the quality of your life.

Of course it is good to be exposed to thoughts and ideas but actually producing within yourself from your own experience - physical evidence of change which allows you to adapt and move into and through your life with greater ease is my whole point here. So in that light, another thing you can try if you like.

You might try to sleep a little different. Sleeping is something that we don't take for granted as much as we used to. With the intense pace of many of our lives and just the noise around - sleeping is not so easy.

I'd like to suggest however you consider your favorite animal. It could be an animal that lives with you - a dog or a cat for instance or it could be a wild animal or a mythical animal - it doesn't have to be a real one but it has to be real enough so you can imagine it walking about or swimming perhaps and just conducting its life.

It also has to be something you can imagine sleeping. This is what I'm going to recommend you do - see if you can, while you imagine that animal sleeping, breathe at the same pace that that animal is breathing.

If you have a dog or a cat present you may actually be able to hear them breathing or get the impression of how quickly they are breathing by glancing at them before you close your eyes to go to sleep.

There is a reason and the reason has to do with why it's important for you to pick your favorite animal even if it is mythical and that is that animals as we call them are from another place just as we all are and they have their own dreams.

The dreams are often completely unlike what people talk about - meaning if you've seen a dog dream sometimes they move their legs but it doesn't mean they're chasing something. After all if you've seen a human dream, humans also move their legs - does it mean we're chasing something - probably not.

So if you can set your pace of breath to about the same pace and concentrate on that animal - it has to be one that you like - then you may have the opportunity within your dream cycle to dream one of that animals dreams and they may have the opportunity to dream one of your dreams.

Of course it could be that you're simply sharing or sitting in on their dream - either way you might have an opportunity when you wake up to remember a little bit of that dream. It could be a good experience.

I really recommend that you pick an animal that you feel good about and if possible, one that you feel is safe for you. So thats what I recommend.

I do not recommend an animal that is dangerous or frightening. This is not a good thing because you could attract to you some of that danger element and the trouble with the danger element is that it always imposes risks upon you. So for those of you who are attracted to danger, know that danger comes with risks and I do not recommend that.

Rather think of an animal that you feel good about and see if you can share dreams with that being. Give it a try - see how you like it.

Dear Robert,Was really amazed reading today's blog...!!!Just got you book "Awakening to the Animal Kingdom" and love it...Two days ago a question came to my mind about "shape shifting" and the way to efficiently shift shape with a member of the animal kingdom to get deeply in the feeling of that family spirit.Was wondering if I could request some suggestions in your blog but noticed that you don't really encourage messages not directly related with the topic of the day...so didn't ask......and today you answer partially...WoW!

Patrice, thank you for your comment. Yes, I feel it is a good thing for others reading this blog that the comment section be a place where - from time to time further issues along the lines of the subject of the day be developed - otherwise it becomes really a private session doesn't it and this is not really the venue for that is it. Thanks again for your observance of the customs here.Goodlife

Answers To Your Questions

Remember, if you have a question, to check the Labels first. You'll find them in the lower right hand corner of the blog. And since the Labels may not be thorough you can always use the search box in the upper left hand corner of the blog.

Words In Quotes

Anytime I put something in quotes (" "), or Grandfather gives you words to say in a video, which are a suggestion for you say something - possibly a Living Prayer or a True Magic for example, it is always meant to be said in exactly those words inside the quotes. Do not vary those words at all. If you trip over it or accidentally say another word then you'll have to go back and do it over again. I know that may seem kind of a struggle but this is how you get it right and how you learn it.

I do not expect you to learn all these things at once but over time you will absorb as many as you can and others will absorb what they can and you will co-operate and do things together as needed.

"Benevolent" Clarified

The word "benevolent" which is a cornerstone of Benevolent Magic is meant to express a feeling.

However it has been pointed out to me that not all peoples have the word "benevolent" in some directly translated way in their language. So on that basis I will put a few other words here that are, in my mind, associated with benevolent:

Well meaning and kindly, kindhearted, humanitarian, good.

Also when I say in a Living Prayer or Benevolent Magic, as is shared here, "...the most benevolent outcome" that means the best possible outcome for you and/or others.

I have built in to all of this advice and guidance I am giving here very specific and contoured - meaning applicable to different individuals in different situations - means to protect and insulate all beings.

A Suggestion

For those who are new to this blog I recommend that if you have not found what you are looking for to use the search in the upper left hand corner to see if you can find your subject on this blog.

Keep in mind that with this blog and with my others that one thing builds on the other and there is likely to be material that precedes whatever you are looking at here now though I do try to keep each post as individualistic as possible.
